Renee Dittmer: Students need to be able to hear the difference

12
00:00:38.204 --> 00:00:40.840
in sounds, know how they're --
if they're alike

13
00:00:40.907 --> 00:00:44.944
or if they're different,
so that when they are writing

or blending sounds,

15

When we are trying
to distinguish sounds

18
00:01:03.329 --> 00:01:05.865
between letters,
I can pull a small group,

19
00:01:05.932 --> 00:01:08.034
and that small group
and I will sit back there,

20
00:01:08.101 --> 00:01:10.336
and it might be something
as simple as a thumbs up

21
00:01:10.403 --> 00:01:13.740
and thumbs down, listen
to the sounds that I'm giving,

22
00:01:13.807 --> 00:01:15.475
if they're the same,
do thumbs up,

23
00:01:15.542 --> 00:01:17.744
if they're not the same,
do thumbs down.

00:01:17.811 --> 00:01:18.678
